A raw conversation about family tensions between Christian faith and voodoo practices leads to profound revelations about God's jealousy for His glory and His supernatural provision during life's toughest moments.

• After losing her brother to COVID, Adnie received divine clarity about why God didn't heal him: "Y'all will never take my glory"
• God began spiritually disconnecting Adnie from Florida in 2018, eventually leading to a divine call to relocate to Atlanta
• Following her own plans rather than God's complete direction led to financial exploitation and nearly becoming homeless
• Divine provision came through unlikely sources—a spiritual mother's financial help, coworkers donating furniture, and an affordable apartment
• Christians often make life harder by taking control rather than fully trusting God's direction
• Everything belongs to God—our finances, possessions, and living situations—and He delights in providing for His children who approach with childlike faith

If you're struggling with pride or difficulty asking for help, remember that God owns everything and delights in providing for His children. Let Him guide you completely rather than taking the reins—be the mule with the bridle in your mouth, following His direction.

Stephen D. Holder shares his journey of helping churches embrace technology to effectively reach new generations and expand their ministry impact. His work bridges the gap between outdated church systems and the digital world where potential members exist.

• Church visitor follow-up is crucial – people who take time to call visitors back can make all the difference
• Stephen's ministry focus is bringing modern technology solutions to churches still using outdated equipment
• The pandemic forced churches to either embrace streaming technology or temporarily close
• Many churches resist technology upgrades due to cost concerns despite individual members spending freely on personal technology
• Quality matters in digital ministry – poor audio/video quality will cause viewers to disengage immediately
• The Bible itself evolved from stone tablets to digital formats while maintaining the same message
• Stephen's Tech Disciples podcast combines ministry, technology and music to help churches navigate the digital landscape
• The 24-38 age demographic is most likely to independently walk into a church without prior connection
